Fatah Conference Boosts Abbas, but Peace May Remain Elusive – TIME

Delegates proposed revising the charter of Fatah — which was founded in the 1950s to wage an armed struggle against Israel on behalf of the dispossessed Palestinians — to embrace the principle of “two states for two people,” a recognition that Palestinians accept Israel’s right to exist. This revision is expected to be adopted by Fatah’s newly elected leadership bodies. But, on the other hand, the conference delegates refused to strike out a sentence in their charter vowing to “liquidate the Zionist entity.”
